You've stood in line long enough. We now have the info
you need for sending checks or for wiring money directly into the
account (which is in the First Western Trust Bank, whose president is
SEAL Lindsay Thomas Kough, Class 158).

Using the information below, either mail or wire-transfer your
contributions to help "The Trio." Make your checks payable to
"Warrior Legacy Foundation," and write "Warrior Defense
Fund" (that's us) on the memo line. We have a totally separate
account within a much-larger account.

There is a Pay Pal account already set up, and links will
be on the Warrior Legacy Foundation site; www.freetheseals.com;
and a number of other www friendly sites.

In closing, you should be aware that this account is overseen by a
6-person Board of Advisors, at least two of whom are SEALs and another a
lady who is VERY active in the military-support community. We have done
all we know how to do to get this thing on the road and to incorporate
strict oversight procedures over how the money is spent. I believe that
we have done pretty well setting up this account.

Fire in the hole!

Navy
SEAL Ryan Job

Posted By Froggy

Ryan was the SEAL who was critically wounded preceeding Marc
Lee's death in Ramadi on 2 August 06. Ryan was shot in the face and he has
completely lost his right eye and may very well lose his left. He is
recovering at Bethesda Naval Medical Center in Maryland right now. I had
the privilege of speaking with Ryan this afternoon on the phone, and I was
struck by the courage and committment of this young man even at what must be his
darkest hour.

Ryan was very grateful for Marc, "shooting for me,"
while his platoon tried to casevac him from the Ramadi rooftop where he was hit.
Ryan was also grateful that an M1 tank put two 120mm rounds into the building
from which he was shot. He told me that he takes great comfort in the fact
that the terrorist who took his right eye won't be around to enjoy it, and I
heartily agree with him. Though he certainly knows that he won't have the
chance, he emphasized repeatedly to me that all he wanted to do was to get back
into the fight with his platoonmates and that he'd gladly give his left eye for
the opportunity.

Where do we get such men?

I spoke with his mother and brother over beers at world famous
McP's Irish Pub in Coronado, CA on Saturday. They had attended Marc Lee's
memorial service. Ryan has a great family that love him, but like many of
our hero's families, they don't have cash sitting around to spend on travel
expenses and hotel rooms so they can visit their warriors during their recovery.
I donated to the Naval Special Warfare
Foundation so that these needs could be met. I'd encourage B5 readers
to do the same if you are able.

I am trying to set up a fund for Ryan to get a
Valour
IT laptop which totals out at $800. I will put down the first $250,
and I would ask that readers who feel led, would step up and
put
up the remaining $550.

Froggy is back:

I just wanted to report back to the B5 crew about the laptop
drive for Navy SEAL Ryan Job at Bethesda. You may remember that Ryan was
shot in the face in Ramadi on August 2nd and lost his right eye. His
platoonmate, Marc Lee, provided the suppressing fire that allowed the platoon to
medevac Ryan off of the roof where he was wounded. Marc's sacrifice of his
life to allow Ryan a chance to survive earned him the Silver Star and his
rightful place in the pantheon of fallen SEAL Team heroes.

I spoke to Ryan in the hospital last week and told him that I
was going to try to raise money to get him a Valour-IT laptop-which we did here
on B5 in EIGHT HOURS! I asked the Soldier's Angels rep to total up the
donations received last week for Ryan and she just wrote me back to say that all
told, we raised $2535! In addition to Ryan's
laptop, three more wounded warriors will be getting one as well. I want to
thank the B5 readers for their compassion and for actually putting their money
where their heart is.

I also wanted to give a shout out to Beth, Lynette, Patty, and
Adele from Soldier's Angels for their rapid response to my request for
Ryan and for personally ensuring that Ryan received the computer last Saturday
morning. Your efforts are appreciated. And I don't want to forget
the man who started it all-Chuck Z- has been working behind the scenes to
oversee the delivery. HOOYAH Chuck!

Doc Riojas was one of the two qualified
SCUBA divers on the ship. School ran by CPO Bob Sheats at Escape
Tank Pearl Harbor territory of Hawaii.

PS- About 1/4 the way down is Frank Scolice
in his cooking pot. During Operation Flintlock in about 1965 on
Normandy Beach.

Frank was our cook for two or three
weeks. He ran out of coffee filters so he took off his boot,
pulled his sock off and poured coffee into it. He made coffee, and
each time someone told him how good it was he would grin, laugh and
thank them.

Since I didn't drink coffee, he let
me in on the prank. No one knew what he did. There was no
lack of excitement or humor on that trip.

Bill Brumuller & Fred Miller

Doc, the picture’s about a third of the way down on page 6. The photo was taken at Bac Lieu in late 1970. I was Det Golf Cdr. Coordinating a 2 platoon op against a group of VC smuggling weapons in from the coast.
Thanks for the advice on the platoon photo -- I’ll see what I can do.
Joe

Yes, I do. That pix is of the 1st squad of Alpha
Platoon during Tet offensive 1968 on the
Bassac
River
in the Mekong Delta. This was taken by a Life magazine
photographer.
From left to right are: Joe Defloria, Ron Ostrander?/ Irish
Flynn?, Apu Gouveia, Moki, Willy Williams, Mitch Bucklew. The boat
is a ST2 STAB and we wee working with Dick Marchinko’s platoon.

Moki

Frank,

Moki responded earlier to Doc Riojas with the following,
and attached here is another photo of the same group with names
identified that Doc Rio already has posted on his web site.

If
you get in contact with "Apu" Walter's Hawaiian nickname he
could probably fill you in on the others in the photo, as well as an ID
on the boat. Contact Bob Baird rkbaird@cox.net,or
Rick Rogers ribbit71@san.rr.com
of "The Old Frogs and SEALs" and they can probably tell you
how to contact Govea. He will be on the roster...........

You're putting me on! At that juncture I had been in the Navy for
only one year but I am pleased that I looked like a CO albeit with a
single stripe. I must have been smiling because I had orders to go to
Greenland for the summer with Ernie Ols, John Dearman, Nummy Johnson and
my good pal the Swede. We had a great time with a girl behind every
tree [18" high] and the Eskimo mothers wanting Swede and me to ping
ping their daughters to get fair skinned kids.

Joe Heinlein told us at the last reunion that Ramos had died. He
was with us at our 40th but missed the 50th last year. Good man.
Had to bail him out of the Norfolk jail for fornicating in public. In
the back of a car with a married juvenile who he met that night. Her
husband had to pick her up from the court. What a mess.

Hey Doc, That smiling face is of your's truly. Could not be Dante as
"Shapes" is only about 5'8" and I was one of the
taller guys in my class. I had to stand next to the Adm. as part of
the punishment of being the Honor man. Notice that all the rest of the
0-1 and 0-2's are in the front row.

I am sorry to inform you of the passing of one of SEALS outstanding
(Vietnam era) Corpsman. DOC passed away at 1502 on 20 January. He was
very active in the Teams and made several tours to Vietnam. He helped
treat LTJG Hendrickson and Rusty Campbell when they were exposed to
White Phosphorus and the Doctor was unfamiliar with the procedures. With
Detachment Bravo he cared for the Teammates for many of the medical
problems associated with the RSSZ. Saving Raymond Abreu's life when he
checked on him in Vung Tau and found him in serious condition and
immediately got him shipped back to the States. Abe-- had dysentery and
had lost over 20 lbs.

Doc was a Jack of all Trades-and was actively involved in fabricating
the "MIGHTY MOE"; he performed much of the welding when
installing the armor plating--He and Roger Moscone worked well together
to get Seals a boat that they could use in the rivers and waterways..

Doc is survived by his wife of 52 years and 3 Sons. 5 Grand Children and
4 Great Grand Children. Doc retired from the Navy after a very colorful
career. He then went into law enforcement for 32 Years, 12 of which were
as sheriff. The cause of death was congestive Heart Failure, which
plagued him for an extended period of time. More information will be
provided as it becomes available.. Ted Kassa is helping with the
Military Services. If any of you have some stories or other information
to contribute -please send it to Franklin Anderson or to Ted Kassa.

Re
the JFK foto near the bottom of your long page:

The
foto was taken in early cold 1962 was of my assault group. Also shown on
the foto nest to Stan Janecka on his left is Green and then Kucinski.

To
his right, but not shown was RA Tolison. To the left of JFK was
his chief-of-staff and to that man’s left was our skipper, John
Callahan. I was standing to the left of Callahan. It was damn cold
outside that day.

AD
Clark was in a room elsewhere with Roy Boehm where AD
demonstrated our newest weapon, the AR 15. The conversation AD had with
JFK, who within days supplied his secret service with AR 15s, got Roy
Boehm, our then XO, released from an impending court martial.

Roy
ordered those weapons without supposed proper permission, and the powers
that did not want the navy to have a unit of anti terrorism came down
hard on Roy.

AC
Clark and I were 2 of the 11 that graduated
class 22 (east). Claus
Kratky and Bill Daugherty were injured during our class and were rolled
back to and graduated class 23.

Hey Doc,
Here is a classic for you. I think I counted 18 Guys in this photo that
have gone on up to the big 'DZ' in sky. I'm not sure about a couple.
There may be more. I took a large copy to the Reunion last week and
caused quite a stir.

Some great Guys in there. I took it
at the Coronado Women's Club in 75. That was the only year that we were
there. I don't think they wanted us back. Don't know why. I just got
some of the Guys together and climbed up on the roof to grab a shot. Had
a great time at the Reunion last weekend as always.

They said it was confirmed that the
Leap Frogs were to be disbanded. That is sad, especially for me. I was
in the jump team for 11 years and was the one who came up with the name
'Leap Frogs'.

Jack wants me to do a story on it for the
Blast. I'll work on it.

Take care my Friend,

Lou Boyles
